CAG accuses NHPC for hydro power losses: Report

07 Sep 2012 Evaluate

According to the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) has completed just two of 16 planned power projects due to its inefficiency, as reported a media agency. This led to losses of Rs 14,700 crore and missed 10-year target of 11,813 mw of power when country suffering a power deficit of 17,000 mw.

NHPC and the Power Ministry caused a loss of 10,000 mw of power by not following procedure and trying to help private companies. The timely completion of projects would have satisfied 70% of India’s power shortfall.

The Power ministry planned to take 30 months for pre-investment activities of the projects, but the power companies wasted 80 months. As many as 11 projects in the north and the east are being run by government-owned NHPC. Also, in five out of the 16 contracts, NHPC relaxed criteria to please the five private companies.
